Accumulated parameters: accumulated temperature and accumulated precipitation

The Accumulated Parameters include accumulated temperature and accumulated precipitation.

Accumulated temperature is the sum, counted in degrees, by which the actual air temperature rises above or falls below a threshold level during the chosen time period.
Accumulated precipitation is the sum, counted in millimeters, of daily precipitation during the chosen time period.

How to make an API call

API call

http://history.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/history/accumulated_temperature?lat={lat}&lon={lon}&start={start}&end={end}&threshold={threshold}&appid={API key}

Parameters
`lat`	required	Latitude. If you need the geocoder to automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around, please use our Geocoding API.
`lon`	required	Longitude. If you need the geocoder to automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around, please use our Geocoding API.
`start`	required	Start date (unix time, UTC time zone), e.g. start=1586853378
`end`	required	End date (unix time, UTC time zone), e.g. end=1589445367
`appid`	required	Your unique API key (you can always find it on your account page under the "API key" tab)
`threshold`	optional	All values smaller than indicated value are not taken into account

Please use Geocoder API if you need automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around.

Please note that built-in geocoder has been deprecated. Although it is still available for use, bug fixing and updates are no longer available for this functionality.

Other features

Geocoding API

Requesting API calls by geographical coordinates is the most accurate way to specify any location. If you need to convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around automatically, please use our Geocoding API.

Built-in geocoding

Please use Geocoder API if you need automatic convert city names and zip-codes to geo coordinates and the other way around.

Please note that API requests by city name and city id have been deprecated. Although they are still available for use, bug fixing and updates are no longer available for this functionality.

Built-in API request by city name

Please use the parameter q instead of the parameters lat,lon to specify the city name in the API requests.

Parameters

Parameters
`q`	required	City name, state code and country code divided by comma, please refer to ISO 3166 for the state codes or country codes. You can specify the parameter not only in English. In this case, the API response should be returned in the same language as the language of requested location name if the location is in our predefined list of more than 200,000 locations.
